Crimping Without A Crimper


In a previous lesson with Lottie we learnt the skill of making a perfect curl and crimp using the heated products. However sometimes crimpers won't be available to you on set, so in Helens lesson we learnt a new way of crimping with a Geisha pin and straighteners. If anything I preferred the finished outcome of this crimp over using a heated crimper, however it would take a lot longer to achieve a whole head of these crimps. 

First you take a section of hair, this can be Small, medium or large, depending on how tight you want the final outcome to be. I chose a small section. Take a Geisha pin and place where you would want to start the crimp from. If you want a full crimp start from the root, however some looks also suit the straight into crimped style. Then figure of eight the hair around the pin, keeping tight as you do so. once again you can do this until the end of the hair or finish at a certain place to leave a straight end. secure in place with a kirby grip. 



Once you have done this, use straighteners by holding them tight against the pin for 5 seconds. Using foil at this point is optional. 
When this is done, move on to the next one, by the end of the process the first section should have cooled and be ready to unravel. 

The next step is optional, you can either leave it as it is or brush it out to create a Frizz effect.

I personally love this look and think it would be good to incorporate into an Attifet shaped hairstyle. This will definitely be used in one of my designs.
